Hi everyone,
I am currently a freshman in undergrad and I am about to enter into my second semester. I was recently thinking about summer plans and was wondering what I should be doing during this time. I have a volunteer program set up at a nearby hospital for the next two semesters and I am also involved with this freshman research program. I looked into different research internships, but I have found that most of these programs look for sophomores or people with a substantial amount of research experience. I was thinking of maybe taking a few classes at my university while also researching in a lab. My other option is to go back home and volunteer in an area hospital, shadow, and maybe take a course at a nearby university. Are these the things that I should be doing? Or am I missing something? Thanks in advance!
